About the NEW Study Guide Edition
A great resource for Sunday School classes and study groups!
The Study Guide Edition of Total Truth includes significant new content—fresh stories, examples, and illustrations to help readers apply the book's themes. It also interacts with questions raised by readers, so there is real dialogue with the author. When Nancy Pearcey “road-tested” the material with her own students, they said it enhanced their reading of the book by 100 percent.
The expanded study guide edition is the same price as the original book. It is being used by churches, schools, and study groups around the country—even by reading groups among Capitol Hill staffers. It is an outstanding tool to help you dig deeper into the text and be equipped with a Christian worldview.
About the Book
Does God belong in the public arena of politics, business, law, and education? Or is religion a private matter only—personally comforting but publicly irrelevant?
In today’s cultural etiquette, it is not considered polite to mix public and private, or sacred and secular. This division is the single most potent force keeping Christianity contained in the private sphere—stripping it of its power to challenge and redeem the whole of culture.
In Total Truth, Nancy Pearcey offers a razor-sharp analysis of the public/private split, explaining how it hamstrings our efforts at both personal and cultural renewal. Ultimately it reflects a division in the concept of truth itself, which functions as a gatekeeper, ruling Christian principles out of bounds in the public arena.
How can we unify our fragmented lives and recover spiritual power? With examples from the lives of real people, past and present, Pearcey teaches readers how to liberate Christianity from its cultural captivity. She walks readers through practical, hands-on steps for crafting a full-orbed Christian worldview.
Finally, she makes a passionate case that Christianity is not just religious truth but truth about total reality. It is total truth.
